First thing I did was dissassemble the knife and put the handguard on "backwards" so that it protects the fingers when the knife is gripped normally.

Handles are roughly shaped at this point, and the holes were drilled for the pins.

You can see where an extension was welded by us, and where we welded the end cap.

The end cap is still a little rough, but it'll get there. Notice the good penetration on the weld.

Cocoa Thunder is Adam's knickname. Used our Marking Methods 300 to etch it. Worked alright, but one layer of black paint and it's abssolutely invisible. Not sure why it did not etch evenly. Maybe the electrolyte solution or the stencil we used was too

Painting the metal parts black. Why? So it's "cool" and "tactical." :)
Also, this is an easy finish to touch up in the field, if needed. Just spray some more black paint on it as needed.
